It calculates the value of deals and positions (such as net present value), runs sensitivity and scenario analyses, and produces market-risk measures like value-at-risk.

These feed both risk management, where they inform decisions and limits, and accounting, where valuations support mark-to-market and hedge accounting.",{"question":269,"answer":270},"Why does market data matter so much for the Market Risk Analyzer?","Because every valuation and risk measure it produces is computed from market data — FX rates, interest rate curves, security prices and volatilities.
